Merchants recommend this app for running multilingual and international stores, translating entire sites into many languages and currencies. Automatic translations are seen as accurate, with GPT/OpenAI tools and manual editing for brand‑consistent tone. Features like a customizable switcher, glossary, and bulk translation save time and simplify complex setups. Many highlight reliable performance and fast, hands‑on support, including theme‑specific fixes, and say it’s worth the price.

Free version only applies to the stores created within 60 days. Also I activated the free period to see the performance before buying. The app added words before and after every single translation without giving a warning. It destroyed my previous translations which cost me hours to fix.

Update: After two weeks of live testing. Visitors droped 45%.... Sales droped over 50%. Some users from germany get the english version displayed and canceled the order. I have deleted the app. Old Rating: Easy Interface, Good Design and a smooth auto translation. You can also add manual translation after. Perfect & a very helpful team which guides you thru all the setup. Thank you.

If you're tired of your Shopify website This is the best App to ruin it, they'll be super quick at the beginning to support and get their messy application set up on your website and add the switcher and they'll ask for your rating and review right after installation and you've no idea what a mess they did in your website theme, after that everything will stop working and non of these ppl will even get back to you.

Poorly developed app. The auto translator creates texts with no sense, so the contextual translation must be performed manually. Most texts are not divided in menus, or pages corresponding to the shop structure , the texts can be found under "Homepage". There is no easy way to find and replace texts, no visual identifier, no way to match. The texts repeat itself, so every word must be manually translated , without the option of bulk translation.
There is content on the shop that is not identified in Transcy and cannot be translated. After weeks of work of manually translating the texts, we discovered that the app is not stable and the translations are not permanent. As soon as a minor change is operated in the shop, like adding a new content section, the translations are broken. Either they don't appear anymore , or the contextual translation is replaced by the poor autotranslator. I don't recommend this app, is causing only issues .

There are a few things to watch out for before getting this app.
1. You can't place the switcher wherever you want.
This meant that, even though I'm a fully capable developer, I had to wait 2 days for them to place the switcher on my header since my "automatic" Venue theme installation was broken.
Once completed, it was not well place and the font size was different to my other nav links. It was also incorrectly configured since I don't support different currencies. And as soon as I turned off the currency setting, it broke again.
You are powerless here. If you're not tech savvy and don't mind waiting for support. You're good to go.
2. You can't turn off translations once they go off. Seriously. No backsies.
We had 500+ products translated to Spanish all at once and there was no way of saying "hey, I actually don't want those, let's put those translations back to the default language and only keep the home page translations for Spanish" or "I actually only want these 10 products translated to Spanish, ignore the rest". Nope, you are done my friend. You see those 400,000 translations we've made? Yeah, now go one by one and correct the translation mistakes (Who has that kind of time?). So yeah, you got me. Keep your – as stated repeatedly – non-refundable $60 bucks, I'm out!
Please beware. I think the reviewers here are not seeing how devastatingly awful this app can be as you scale your business, since most of their stores are so early-stage. If your business is serious about translations, this is NOT the app for you.
Who is this app is for?
If you have 1-10 products on your store and can afford fixing all the translations as soon as you "translate all products", this app is perfect for you.
Hello Matias,
Here is Seri from FireApps Customer Support Team, and I am so sorry for the inconvenience that have caused to you.
After checking your feedback carefully, below are my comments:
Firstly, about the switcher, we sincerely apologize for late fix regarding the embedded problem. I see you said that the switcher was not well placed, and not fit the font size. So could you please tell me more details about it to assist further? Which position do you want to place your switcher, and which font size do you want it to be?
Secondly, about the problem that the switcher was broken when turning off currency option, I have tried to turn off it from my end, and was not able to reproduce it. Thus, would you mind to try it on your site again, and let me know if the issue still persists?
Thirdly, about the translation concern, once pages are translated, it will be saved on your Shopify store. I really sorry that at the moment, we can not choose which specific page to translate or not. Therefore, I am going to forward this idea to our Business Development team to consider it in our future release.
Also, I see that you have removed all the targeted languages that you added previously, so may I know if there is anything I can help at this point?
Look forward to hearing your reply.
Warmest regards,
Seri
5-Star Reviews are Deceiving - Read the 1&2 Stars to make an informed decision I am not one to spend time reviewing apps, but this app with 4.7 average reviews at the time is extremely deceiving. The 5-star reviews are mostly from beginners who install it and thing it "looks good". If you actually speak the translated language and have 3rd party apps that need translation, you will be extremely frustrated at how hard it is to actually customize things. Once installed it messed up my Size selector, sizes, product titles, and other things. There is no way to customize many of the translations unless you contact support and they "fix it" DON't LET THEM! Why they do is they go and hardcode a bunch of lines that won't go away once you finally give up and remove the application. This app is a black-box auto translator and their staff is helpless. While their suppport staff seems friendly and will attempt helping you, the design of the app is so poor that their only way to help you would be to hardcode things that will eventually break your site. Product translation is awful. Most apps would get you a search bar and show a list of your products in which you can go and quicly modify titles. this app will you you products and you have to click each, open a new window, click edit, before you can edit one title. Then save, go back two levels above, and repeat your search. Extremely inefficient if you need to edit things. And unless you don't know the translated language, you know most likely any serious store will need to edit texts and more. Save yourself the headache. DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP.
Hi HUNK,
I'm Amanda from Transcy - Translate Language and Convert Currency Customer Support Team and we sincerely apologize your bad experience with us.
Regarding to your concern as following:
1. The first issue is unable to edit content from third party apps. For making it clear, our app will detect the element built by third party apps and then translated them automatically. However because it's from third party apps, so it does not allow our app to edit its content.
2. Secondly, I have realized your page contains lots of elements coming from third party apps such as size variants they have some specific codes which are not compatible with our app. However, if this error is not out of our control, we're still able to fix it.
3. As you said that "Why they do is they go and hardcode a bunch of lines that won't go away once you finally give up and remove the application", you mean after you uninstall our app, some leftover code will show. If yes, as usual our app code will disappear and there will be no change from your site. Sometimes, there will have some lines of code leftover on your site for some reasons, but no worries much, we have published the article how to remove it completely on your store with some simple steps or if you cannot do it, please contact our support team to handle it for you.
4. As you mentioned that "Most apps would get you a search bar and show a list of your products in which you can go and quicly modify titles", our app still has the search bar to do it. However, your feedback about the process to edit in-app, I have noted this point and forward to concern team to improve it as soon as possible.
Once again, we're deeply sorry for this inconvenience and your feedback is necessary for us to improve our app in the better way. As my colleague has sent you a follow-up email, please kindly check it for further help. Hope to hear from you soonest.
Best Regards
Amanda

Since I started using Transcy, I’ve encountered a wide range of issues. For example, prices for the U.S. market are incorrectly displayed in Australian dollars, which is completely inconsistent with their promise that the currency would automatically switch based on the iPhone’s region. Another serious issue is that European and U.S. price separators have disappeared, making prices confusing and unclear. What’s worse is that these problems would never have been discovered if users hadn’t actively reported them.
Customer support is also disappointing. At the beginning, you are simply brushed off by AI-generated replies, and even when you finally reach a human agent, the response time is very slow. Up to now, these problems still haven’t been fixed. If you don’t want your advertising budget to be wasted, I’d strongly advise being cautious about using this software.
Hi there,
This is Brian. We truly understand how frustrating it is to encounter pricing and localization issues, especially when accuracy is critical for international markets. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience these problems caused you.
Regarding the issues you mentioned:
The incorrect currency display and missing price separators have now been fully fixed.
We’re especially sorry that our support response time felt slow from your perspective. Even though our team did respond as quickly as possible, we understand that when issues impact your business, any delay can feel frustrating. Your experience is important to us, and we’re continuously improving both our support process and communication.
We genuinely appreciate users like you who report issues, as this helps us make Transcy more stable and reliable for everyone. If you’re open to it, we’d be happy to assist you further and ensure everything is now working as expected on your store.
We have noticed that one of our colleagues is in touch with you via email. Please let them know if you need further support.
Best regards,
Brian

App stopped working! Generally I would not use this APP as the SEO Rankings plummed after installation. Also asked for refund due to not working of the app for over 7 months, this was denied therfore from 3* I had to change this to 1 star
Hi there,
This is Brian from Transcy. We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and would like to clarify several important points for transparency and fairness to other merchants.
- Regarding the claim that the app “stopped working for over 7 months”:
Our records show that you first contacted us about this issue approximately 9 months ago. Our support team replied multiple times (on 19 April, 2 May, 9 May, and 16 May) with investigation results and clear instructions to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, we did not receive any response, which prevented us from proceeding with the fix.
- Regarding SEO ranking concerns:
Transcy is primarily a translation app, designed to help merchants localize content and also SEO elements (such as meta titles, meta descriptions, and URLs) across multiple languages. SEO performance, however, depends on many external factors beyond any single app, including Google algorithm updates, site structure, content quality, backlinks, competitors’ activities, and overall store performance.
Without concrete data or continued collaboration, it is not possible to conclude that a drop in SEO ranking was caused by the app alone.
- Regarding billing and the refund request:
Like all Shopify apps, subscriptions are billed automatically as long as the app remains installed and active on the store, regardless of usage or ticket status. Since the app remained installed during this period, charges continued according to Shopify’s billing rule
- Regarding app functionality:
While admin access currently requires approval of a new pricing plan, the app itself has continued running on your storefront, and the language switcher has remained visible and active.
We also informed all merchants about our new pricing plans well in advance via email and in-app notifications, though it’s possible these messages were missed.
Despite the above, we still offered special launch pricing as a gesture of goodwill for being a long-term customer. Our team remains available should you wish to resolve this constructively.
One of our colleagues has already reached out to you via email with a detailed explanation and proposed solution. Please feel free to reply directly to that email if you need any further clarification or support, we’re more than happy to assist
Best regards,
Brian

This app is horrible. Nothing works. Needs a ton of work for them to be charging as much as they are charging. Customer support is very good, they try their best, but nothing you can do with an expensive app that doesn't work at all. Tried using it several times, and was as patient as I could. Auto translated twice already for 20 languages, just for it to say it was never auto translated, huge waste of my time.
Hi sir,
This is Ben, and I am truly sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced. I completely understand how disappointing it is to invest time and money only to feel like things aren’t working as expected. Especially after multiple attempts and being patient throughout — that’s not the experience we want for you.
I can see that our support team is actively assisting you and has already begun providing relevant solutions to address the auto-translation issue you mentioned. We’ll continue working closely with you to pinpoint what went wrong and make sure you can use the app as intended.
Thank you again for your patience. We’re committed to getting this resolved for you.
Best Regards
Ben
